  1. While I thought Solyaris was fairly slow paced and frankly difficult to get through, I ultimately found the film enjoyable even if I doubt I'll ever watch it again.

    Maths

    I always took imaginary to mean the numbers which could not be represented by objects as opposed to non-existant.
  3. Off the top of my head, I've not finished: Persona 4 Eternal Poison Final Fantasy II Divine Divinity Temple of Elemental Evil NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer Ogre Battle Age of Mythology Diablo II: The Lord of Destruction Invictus Escape from Monkey Island Grim Fandango Pool of Radiance Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Shining Soul Shining Soul II Sumon Night 2 Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Touch Detective Sacred Farcry 2 Ninety Nine Nights Bladestorm Dungeon Lord 8 Eyes Phantasie Phantasie II Luminous Arc Zork Enchanter Sorcerer Basically any game made by Infocom I ever tried. There are tonnes more...
  4. They're midgets dressed as kids in the hope to get close and stab Kung Fu Master in the face.
  5. Marvel is making their own films, and since they leveraged the rights to certain characters in order to make sure that they got the financing, they kinda have to make a bunch of movies. But they also seem to be an easy blockbuster these days, there are tonnes of superhero characters licensed for movies. Tonnes! Of course there are some non-superhero characters that have been licensed as well. Josh Brolin in horror-western Jonah Hex for example. When has Hollywood not made remakes (or adaptions from other sources)?
  6. So who was it that walked down the hallway behind the interview at 1:48? Speculation?
  7. That's a bit like saying you're tired of them adapting novels into movies, innit? Why would the source matter?
  8. Watched DARK FLOORS the Lordi film. It had a nice premise, but I could kinda tell by how the story progressed what was going to end up happening.
  9. http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810029193/trailer Drag Me to Hell - Sam Rami's return to horror films.
  10. I never had Fallout Tactics so if I ever saw a release like that I'd consider getting it.
  11. The screenwriter said in an interview that he changed the end There are some things I wish the end did differently, but I'm not sure I'm bugged by the lack of the .
  12. Watchmen; given that no adaption is going to be perfect (that's why it exists in its original media), I thought they did a decent job adapting the story to the screen. Not perfect, but what is?
  13. That sounds to be a bit silly of a way to do things though.
  14. Metafictionality for the win!
  15. If you've never been able to enjoy a film with Steven Segal or Don "The Dragon" Wilson, or if you weren't able to enjoy the charms of say Gymkata or Best of the Best 3: No Turning Back, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li might not be for you
  16. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li - kind of an odd fish, really. It takes a small slice of the Street Fighter backstory (specifically, how Chun-Li got involved in trying to take down Shadowloo prior to the original Street Fighter game) and essentially makes a late 80s/early 90s "martial arts" film about it (you know the kind that mixed average gun fights and chases in with martial arts fighting that show up on local TV stations on weekend afternoons). Neil McDonough and Michael Clarke Duncan are quite hissable as villains. Kristen Kreuk and Robin Shou do well as heroes. Robin Shou is really good as Gen; its a pity he hasn't had more of a major career, I think. Kreuk manages to be a good deal more believable as Chun-Li than I'd have guessed when I first heard about the film much to the films benefit. Chris Klien - as Nash - may be the only actor I've seen able to chew scenery as one of the good guys. He is all over the place, putting his all in every scene, walking like he owns the place, growling, scowling, shooting at people and making some very odd expressions. Its almost like he's in a complete other film, one which I'd be interested to see just to find out the context for his performance. Biggest problem is the editing; the film feels hacked up and I think that the order of some incidents may actually not be presented in the order they were planned to happen in the script. F Day of the Animals - Leslie Nelson wrestles a bear, Christopher George, Michael Ansara, and Richard Jaeckel wrestle dogs in this "environment goes crazy" disaster styled horror film. Worth watching for Leslie Nelson going from annoying ad-man to over-the-top wild-man. He also gets the best lines "I think with my head; most people think with their butts!"
  17. Maybe they're both for it as part of a global wise conspiracy to make you think that they're actually adversaries, thus encompassing all of the population of earth to choose to take one side or the other never knowing they're actually the same side. The same side RULED BY TRANSPARENT HEADED FISH OVERLORDS!!!!1111111onetwothree
  18. Tetris: The Role Playing Game. 7 races (red, white, magenta, green, dark blue, cyan, brown ) 7 classes (I, J, L, O, S, T, Z.) No RPG can boast such customizable characters! You play as the chosen tetronomino, raised from childhood by a unique monastic order tasked with solving social ills of the world by uniting the 7 races to form a powerful block to fight against the oncoming oblivion that threatens the world from the Edge of the Screen.
  19. Anything Victorian sucks. I'm sure Victoria will be offended at your statements.
  20. I think the Flamer and the Minigun both only really work in real time; neither seem suited for VATS due to the low number of "hits" it can get in the VATS time period, vs being able to just pump bullets (or flames) onto the opponent. In real time both were fine weapons, although it seemed to me the minigun wore out faster than the flamer. The missle weapons seemed to be better in VATS than in real time partially because it was less likely - at least in my experience - for the simple fact that they work better at distances and the opponents were less likely to move out of position as the missle traveled in VATS (or at least less likely to travel out of the range of the explosions).
  21. Its really mostly a shell for the eyes (they're the big green topped tube things in the transparent skull; the two opening above the mouth are actually olfactory senses, apparently).
  22. For me NWN was probably the one I had the most trouble with, but that's because I didn't find the OC as compelling (I did like both expansions) and I find the original BG just about impossible to play now (I can still play BGII, but usually give up in Throne of Bhaal). Still I enjoyed them all and I'm looking forward to DA a good bit (and ME2). If I get the kind of enjoyment I've gotten out of NWN, BG, BG2, ME or JE, I'll be happy.
